Customers can still ask to put on ‌Apple Watch‌ and ‌AirPods‌ models, but employees have already been told never to offer try-ons proactively or to motivate them. Limited try-ons are part of Apple's broader efforts to fight the coronavirus outbreak, which has infected a lot more than 1,000 people in the usa.

As was reported earlier this week, Apple has ordered extra cleanings of display products during the day, introduced hand sanitizing stations, and has reduced the amount of chairs at the Genius Bar and cubes in the Forum area to include additional space between customers.

In areas with an increase of severe coronavirus outbreaks, like the SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA Bay Area and Seattle, Today at Apple sessions have already been shut down entirely. An Apple spokesperson confirmed that Apple is indeed limiting crowding in stores, but declined to especially comment on try-ons.

Apple Stores in the United all remain open at the existing time, but in the areas hit hard by the coronavirus, Apple has closed retail locations. Stores in China were closed for a lot of February, and at this time, all stores in Italy are closed.
